Sampling in Difficult Settings: A Simulation Study Comparing Several Sampling Methods
Abstract
Background:
Taking a representative sample to determine prevalence of variables like disease is difficult when little is known about the target population. Several methods have been proposed, including a recent revision of the World Health Organization’s Extended Program on Immunization (EPI) surveys. The original EPI method samples towns as Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) with probability proportional to size and uses a nearest neighbour approach …
